Hi all,

I'll make a brief comment on this  not that it means much because i don't
have the time to implement my soln and you are the ones that would have to
deal with it. At work where i have a old OS on a distro i don't package for
or care about i build from source and use the forcasts and photo's module,
i haven't looked at the code for either so i have no idea what state they
are in but they both work for me on multiple systems so oneday i may
consider packaging them. I am yet to see the current waring as i can't
upgrade atm but if it was a once off with a checkbox saying don't show
again i would be happy enough if it came up every time like some of the
compositing errors i would not be, and i wouldn't package these modules in
a official repository.

My prefered solution which probably isn't yours as it is slightly more work
for you would be to only show this popup in the segfault recovery popup if
3rd party modules are loaded. "Something bad has happened, Enlightenment
has crashed. You are running 3rd Party modules this may be the cause". I
would also get enlightenment to create a "diagnostics file" for debugging
which would contain a list of loaded modules the compositor in use,
graphics driver potentially the screen layout and any other info that can
be gathered at startup and make it compolsory for bug reports to be
accompanied by this file. This would give you more useful info that a
inexperienced user may not be able to pin down but would be more effort to
start up.

Cheers,
Simon
